A Portrait of Love

A letter hidden for decades behind a painting that holds a secret from the past. A man who seems to vanish as quickly as he appears. An artist from nowhere with a thirst for love that was never quenched.



On a long-awaited tour of Argon Estates in Holbeck Falls, New York, a painting in one of the rooms catches my eye. A tap on my shoulder leads me to my first meeting with Mr. Smith, a tour guide at the estate. He leads me down the stairs to the basement-where my life will change forever.



My name is Mandy, and I am a freelance photographer. I travel to many places, but Holbeck Falls will be a trip I will never forget.
